orre t the interferen e at his/her own expense.
This produ t was verified under test onditions that in luded use of shielded DTE able(s).
Leased line ables with 1.5 turns through a ferrite ylinder were also used. Use of different

Telecommunications Regulations
Equipment that omplies with Part 68 of the FCC rules in ludes a label or permanent
marking on the printed ir uit board that onne ts to the network that ontains, among other
information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalen e number (REN) for this
equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone ompany. A plug
and ja k used to onne t this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must
omply with the appli able FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A
ompliant telephone ord and modular plug is provided with this produ t. It is designed to be
onne ted to a ompatible modular ja k that is also ompliant. See installation instru tions
for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devi es that may be onne ted to a telephone
line. Ex essive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devi es not ringing in response to
an in oming all. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not ex eed five (5.0). To
be ertain of the number of devi es that may be onne ted to a line, as determined by the total
RENs, onta t the lo al telephone ompany. The REN for this produ t is part of the produ t
identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the
REN without a de imal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
If this equipment auses harm to the telephone network, the telephone ompany will notify
you in advan e that temporary dis ontinuan e of servi e may be required. But if advan e
noti e isn't pra ti al, the telephone ompany will notify the ustomer as soon as possible.
Also, you will be advised of your right to file a omplaint with the FCC if you believe it is
ne essary. The telephone ompany may make hanges in its fa ilities, equipment, operations
or pro edures that ould affe t the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone
ompany will provide advan e noti e in order for you to make ne essary modifi ations to
maintain uninterrupted servi e. If the equipment is ausing harm to the telephone network,
the telephone ompany may request that you dis onne t the equipment until the problem is
resolved. Conne tion to party line servi e is subje t to state tariffs. Conta t the state publi
utility ommission, publi servi e ommission or orporation ommission for information. If
your home has spe ially wired alarm equipment onne ted to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment, onsult a trained te hni ian.
Equipment that meets the appli able Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Te hni al
Spe ifi ations is onformed by the registration number. Equipment that omplies with
Industry rules in ludes a label or permanent marking on the printed ir uit board that
onne ts to the network. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that
the registration was performed based on a De laration of Conformity indi ating that Industry
Canada te hni al spe ifi ations were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved
the equipment.
